BZX84-C12 Compact Zener Regulator for 12 V Nodes

For circuits built around a 12 V threshold, BZX84-C12 offers a simple surface-mount regulator option. The device has a nominal 12 V working voltage, approximately 5 percent tolerance, and a 250 mW power rating in a SOT-23 package.

Its small footprint works well beside comparators, transistor bias stages, sensor interfaces, and local power nodes. Use a suitable series resistor so the diode operates within its current and thermal limits across supply and load changes. The package also supports standard automated assembly without requiring a larger axial footprint.

This part is a practical fit when the design needs moderate tolerance and low-power shunt regulation on a crowded PCB. Request a quote for BZX84-C12.
